MOIRA DINGLE’S PRISON VOW: THE TATE EMPIRE IS ABOUT TO CRUMBLE!
Emmerdale star Natalie J. Robb has teased that things will be heating up between Moira Dingle and Joe Tate as she fights to prove her innocence and restore her family’s standing in the village.
Joe has set up Moira to take the fall for Celia Daniels’ human trafficking operation and has now found herself charged with the murders of Celia and Anya Berisha.
Moira’s struggles have led her to selling Butlers’ Farm to Joe and Kim Tate, as her husband Cain battles cancer.

Speaking to The Mirror, Robb teased: “It definitely heats up between the Dingles and the Tates, especially Moira and Joe. I guess he’s under her radar, that’s for sure, there’s no two ways about that.”
While in prison Moira had a meeting with Kim where the two were able to show “mutual respect,” for one another.
Robb continued: “What’s lovely about the scenes that we did with Kim is that you saw there was that mutual respect between them. She doesn’t have that with Joe, absolutely not. Joe’s a different kettle of fish.
“He’s just a businessman, he just wants to win, win, win. That’s his motto. Whereas Kim Tate is a business woman, and she hasn’t been great in the past, but she’s not as low-level evil as Joe. He’s just a proper narcissist.”
Upcoming spoilers have shown that next week Joe will order everything on the Butlers Farm field to be demolished, including a memorial to Moira’s late daughter Holly Barton.
“It is too far, she knows that,” Robb said of Joe’s upcoming actions. “But these are little chinks in the armour for her, she’s like ‘right okay, everything’s banked’.
“She wants to sort things out, but it could be something she ends up sitting on, there might be a bit of a waiting game there.”
Robb went on to tease that Moira was biding her time, as the list of people wanting revenge on Joe grows.
“We’ll see what the producers are going to come up with story-wise,” Robb said.
“I mean, there is a queue but you never know, the queue’s getting larger and larger, so that might make for a story later on in time, but we’ll see. It’s exciting. I’m enjoying the change of things, to be honest, I am. It is different.
“And do you know what’s nice? We’re working with all different kind of actors now, we’re working across the board. You’re not just working in your group of people, we’re working with a lot of different actors, so I quite like that, so the variety of that’s been quite nice.”
